Abstract

A power module includes a housing, a support bracket, a sliding member and a resilient recovery member. The housing has a first surface and a second surface. The support bracket is fixed to the first surface. The support bracket has a hook to retain a first side of a support rail. The sliding member is slidably connected to the support bracket. The sliding member has a latch member to retain a second side of the support rail. The resilient recovery member has a first end connected to the support bracket and a second end connected to the sliding member. The resilient recovery member is to push the sliding member to cause the hook member and the latch member to sandwich the support rail. The sliding member has a first unlocking end for applying a force against the resilient recovery member. The first unlocking end projects beyond the second surface.

Claims (27)

1. A power module comprising:

a housing having a first surface, a second surface and a third surface, the second and third surfaces are perpendicularly connected to two opposite edges of the first surface respectively;

a support bracket fixed to the first surface and having a hook member to retain a first side of a support rail;

a sliding member slidably connected to the support bracket, the sliding member has a latch member to retain a second side of the support rail, wherein the first side and the second side are two opposite sides of the support rail; and

a resilient recovery member has a first end connected to the support bracket and a second end connected to the sliding member, the resilient recovery member is configured to push the sliding member to cause the hook member and the latch member to sandwich the support rail,

wherein the sliding member has a first unlocking end and a second unlocking end for applying a force against the resilient recovery member, the first unlocking end projects beyond the second surface, the second unlocking end projects beyond the third surface.

2. The power module of claim 1 , wherein the first unlocking end has a force-applying through hole.

3. The power module of claim 1 , wherein the second unlocking end has a force-applying board in parallel with the third surface.

4. The power module of claim 1 , wherein the first unlocking end has a force-applying board in parallel with the second surface.

5. The power module of claim 1 , further comprising a lever structure disposed on the second surface, the lever structure is configured to drive the first unlocking end against the resilient recovery member.

6. The power module of claim 5 , wherein the lever structure comprises a force-applying rod that has a mid-section rotatably connected to a pivot on the second surface, and an end of the force-applying rod connected to the first unlocking end.

7. The power module of claim 1 , further comprising a protrusion member projected from the second surface.

8. The power module of claim 7 , wherein the protrusion member is a bent section of the housing on the second surface.

9. The power module of claim 7 , wherein the protrusion member is an extension portion of the support bracket adjacent to the second surface.

10. A power module comprising:

a housing having a first surface and a second surface, the second surface is perpendicularly connected to an edge of the first surface respectively;

a support bracket fixed to the first surface and having a hook member to retain a first side of a support rail;

a sliding member slidably connected to the support bracket, the sliding member has a latch member to retain a second side of the support rail, wherein the first side and the second side are two opposite sides of the support rail; and

a resilient recovery member has a first end connected to the support bracket and a second end connected to the sliding member, the resilient recovery member is configured to push the sliding member to cause the hook member and the latch member to sandwich the support rail,

wherein the sliding member has a first unlocking end for applying a force against the resilient recovery member, the first unlocking end projects beyond the second surface.

11. The power module of claim 10 , wherein the first unlocking end has a force-applying through hole.

12. The power module of claim 10 , wherein the first unlocking end has a force-applying board in parallel with the second surface.

13. The power module of claim 10 , further comprising a lever structure disposed on the second surface, the lever structure is configured to drive the first unlocking end against the resilient recovery member.

14. The power module of claim 13 , wherein the lever structure comprises a force-applying rod that has a mid-section rotatably connected to a pivot on the second surface, and an end of the force-applying rod connected to the first unlocking end.

15. The power module of claim 10 , further comprising a protrusion member projected from the second surface.

16. The power module of claim 15 , wherein the protrusion member is a bent section of the housing on the second surface.

17. The power module of claim 15 , wherein the protrusion member is an extension portion of the support bracket adjacent to the second surface.
